Made for Your Home, Your Taste, and Nobody Else's
Custom cabinets, built-ins, millwork, and furniture across Travis, Williamson, Burnet, and Bell counties. You deal with me directly, from the first visit to the last coat of finish.
THE PROBLEM WITH BUYING IT
What You Want Doesn't Already Exist
You measured the wall. Then you spent weeks looking at things that were close but never right.
Too short, too shallow, the wrong wood, the wrong proportions for the room. Stock sizes get built for an average house and the average consumer.
But neither you nor your home are average.
The idea in your head is specific, and it is correct. You just need the right craftsman to build it.

WHAT CUSTOM ACTUALLY MEANS
Built to Your Vision, by One Person
Custom means the piece starts as a set of decisions instead of a product.
What is the ultimate goal? How will it be used? From there it is about what wood, what proportions, what it has to hold, how it meets the wall it lives against.
We work those out together, then I build it and install it myself. Nothing gets ordered from a catalog and adapted to fit.
Before You Hire Anyone
Why Work with Jon
Plenty of people who can comfortably afford a project like this still sit on it for years. It is not about the money. It is the fear of choosing the wrong person. Everyone has heard the stories of a project gone wrong. Those concerns are real, and they are exactly why I work the way I do.
You Deal With Me
I quote the work and I do the work. No estimator signs you up and hands you to a crew you have never met. Same person, same truck, every day until it is done.
I Finish What I Start
The punch list, the cleanup, and the haul off are part of the job, not extras I get to skip. Your project is not finished until you tell me it is.
The Price Holds
You get a written number before anything is ordered, and that is what you pay. If I misjudge the work, I absorb it. A price only moves for change you request or something nobody could have known was behind the wall. In those cases, you get options and you make the decision.
Your Home Is Respected
Drop cloths taped down, runners along the traffic path, and a vacuum at the end of every day. I confirm before I come, and you always know who is in your house and when.
How it Works
Four Steps, No Surprises
01
Tell Me About the Project
You start with the project questionnaire. It covers the space, the scope, and your timeline, and it tells me enough to know whether this is something I should be building. If it is a fit, we set a time to sit down and go through it properly.
02
Price and Timeline
You get a written proposal with the scope, the materials, and a realistic completion date spelled out. Nothing gets ordered and nothing gets built until you have approved it.
03
I Build It
The same person in your home every day it is running, appointments confirmed the day before, and a call from me before anything changes.
04
We Review It Together
We walk the finished work side by side against what you approved. Punch list, cleanup, and haul off are part of the job, not an afterthought.
Common Questions
What People Ask About Working with Me
Who actually shows up at my house?
There is no estimator who signs you up and then hands you to a crew you have never met. The same person who meets you is the same one who bids the work and arrives to do the work. Same person, same truck, every day until the project is complete.
What does a project like this usually cost?
It depends on size, materials, and how much of the house has to come apart, so I will not pretend there is a number I can give you here. What I will tell you is that I do not compete on price and I do not bid against three other guys. If cost is the first concern, I am probably not the right fit, and I would rather say that early than waste your afternoon.
How far out are you booked?
It varies. I keep one main project at the center of my schedule and fit smaller work around it, so the honest answer depends on where that project stands when you reach out. The best thing would be for you to complete the project questionnaire. This will let you and I know if your project is a good fit, while also letting me know what your timeline is.
How much mess is this going to make?
It really depends on the project. Room conversions and renovations involves cutting wood and opening walls, which makes dust. However, custom furniture is built in my workshop and will not cause any mess an your home at all. What I can control I do, such as using taped drop cloths, plastic runners along the traffic path, as well as vacuuming at the end of every day.
